The Pepsi Racing Power Cup Challenge presented by River City Racin’ scheduled for June 19 & 20 has been cancelled for 2010 due to unexpected floodwaters. Plans are underway for the event in 2011.
Reports of debris in the river, as well as, eminent rising Missouri River water levels were further putting the race site in jeopardy. Spectator and race team safety were primary in this decision. Local resources are being utilized for local infrastructure needs and insuring public safety.
River City Racin’ has assessed all options with the assistance and input from multiple agencies including the US Army Corp of Engineers, South Dakota Game Fish & Parks, Brule/Buffalo Emergency Management and City Officials from Chamberlain and Oacoma communities.
It is with great disappointment that the volunteer board of River City Racin’ make this decision. They are grateful for the continued community, statewide and sponsor support of the event and are looking forward to a bigger and better event in 2011.
Tickets and party pods purchased will be redeemable for the 2011 event. Questions can be directed to info@rivercityracin.org
